Notes for Differential Equations
==============

These are the LaTeX and Asymptote (asy.sf.net) source files for lab
notes for the math 201 course (Differential Equations for Engineers)
at the University of Alberta.  They are released under the Creative
Commons “Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International” license.


The main notes are denotes.tex, available at
https://github.com/malcolmroberts/denotes/blob/master/pdfs/denotes.pdf .
There are also handouts available in the handouts directory in the
form of TeX files.


Typesetting conventions
-----------------------

Most of the figures are made with Asymptote (asy.sf.net) and must be
compiled into PDFs before compiling the latex.

We are using the breqn package to automatically break long equations.
use 
  \begin{dmath} ... \end{dmath} 
for numbered equations, and
  \begin{dmath*} ... \end{dmath*} 
for non-numbered equations. 
Use "\hiderel" to prevent breaking at specific points.  If you want to prevent
the equation from breaking in general, use 
  \begin{dmath}[compact] ... \end{dmath} 
or
  \begin{dmath*}[compact] ... \end{dmath*},
and you can then use "\\" (the normal line break) to indicate to breqn where
you would like it to break equations.

For writing multiple equations with, eg, the equals sign aligned vertically
for both a LHS and a RHS, dmath doesn't seem to work, and align puts things
on opposite sides of the page.  Use 
  \begin{align} ... \end{align}


XXX or FIXME: add descriptions of easyexample, example, solution, solstep,
enumerate*, etc here.
